"Shell Chic" brings the design and imagination of today's shell
enthusiasts and artisans to the home. This is a book to be savored
for its eccentric decorative flair, its lavish sense of fun, and
its practical instructions for shell projects and design ideas that
will work in any home decor. Frames, chandeliers, unusual boxes,
mirrors, a child-size claw-foot tub - all are fabulous
possibilities for shell encrustation. Memories of peaceful beach
vacations become ravishing decorative items when glued to
lampshades and screens.
In all, 14 step-by-step illustrated projects and 20 design
ideas cover everything readers need to know to create richly
marvelous objects. To lend inspiration, there are profiles of
contemporary shell artists photographed with their creations. One
profile features Marian McEvoy, editor of "House Beautiful," who
has embellished her Manhattan apartment with an estimated 15,000
shells. While most shell enthusiasts will not be working on quite
this scale, there are ideas, photographs, profiles, and inspiration
for all
